Berry and Rye

A gem in Liverpool, just knock on the black door, and they’ll let you in if they have a free table. Inside waits a cozy bar with great drinks and friendly staff, at a fairly decent prize. Would absolutely recommend to visit!

A lovely surprise. I visited after seeing the great reviews and it still exceeded expectations. Really tasty cocktails, served by staff who clearly care about what they’re doing. Well worth a visit.

Me and my bf go here when we have a meal out and it’s always such a nice experience. If you have a cocktail you do like usually, they can always help you pick out a quirky one. We had this one with chicken salt on it, which doesn’t sound nice but trust me, it’s amazing. Next time I go I will definitely try the flight of margaritas 🍋‍🟩

Amazing venue. We joined the short queue and waited around 15mins until we could go in. It's well worth the wait. We were taken to a pair of stools near the bar which was set for us. There was a welcome drink each and 2 glasses of water. The welcome drink was amazing, unfortunately I can't remember the name. The drinks menu is hidden inside a book, the first part of the menu is cocktails, some classic cocktails and some unusual ones. I've There's a large selection of whiskey and gin on the menu. We visited during January, the menu also had a large selection of non alcoholic cocktails. We had 4 cocktails and each was amazing, mixed to perfection. The prices ranged from about £8 to £11 for a cocktail.

OMG, what a fabulous hidden gem, proper speakeasy, knock on the door and wait to be ushered in, great staff, great cocktails a genuinely awesome negroni and a great atmosphere.

Amazing find! Great atmosphere, excellent drinks and brilliant service. Definitely worth a visit for a chilled out drink in a speak easy atmosphere

I’ve only been to Berry & Rye a few times all of which being this year. Most recently for my birthday in October. And the main thing I can say is I can’t believe I waited so long to visit. What a place! The level of knowledge from the staff and the care and attention to detail provided were amazing. The live music was fantastic. I can’t fault a single thing from the times I’ve been. Special thanks to Eddie for his recommendations the last time I went. The Dream Dram is such a fantastic idea too! Getting to try a super premium shot for a fraction of the RRP if you just get say a pint with it, unbelievable value if you appreciate your whiskey. There’re are plenty of great places to just grab a drink in Liverpool, but place me where you feel you’re getting an experience are few and far between. The Vibes ™️ are immaculate!

It’s a secret. Well it was. There’s even a sign telling you where to knock. Great vibe, cocktails and snacks. The OG secret cocktail bar speakeasy in Liverpool. Easier to get into than it was. Ideal after a night at The Grapes on Roscoe Street. Used to be ideal before a visit to Some Place the secret absinthe bar but that has quite tragically closed. A large group will struggle to get in because it is small. Amazing selection of whiskeys. Masses of cocktails.

Find the black door and awning, knock on the door and wait to be let in. Cool space with great cocktails! Great prices too! We were welcomed with a small glass of "pinch" that was super tasty. Live jazz music was an added bonus.

Is Berry & Rye the coolest drinking establishment in Liverpool? Very possibly. With its complete lack of signage, its blacked out windows and front door and the fact that you have to knock on said door to be allowed entry (if the doorman likes the look of you) you already know you're dealing with somewhere fairly high on the 'hipometer'. When you get in (and you could be waiting outside for a while on a Friday or Saturday as it's only small and VERY popular) you are greeted by a decor which is at once understated and incredibly clearly themed. You just feel like you're in Prohibition era in the Deep South. The staff come over with cocktail menus and glasses of water (again, very cool - this is no place for binge drinking) and give you plenty of time to pick your drink which is just as well as there is a LOT to choose from. The cocktails are sorted into spirit based groups which makes things pretty easy if you're a gin person versus a whisky person. Myself, I was immediately drawn to a cocktail called the Corpse Reviver. Not that I particularly needed reviving - it just sounded fun. It was. This is a lovely place to start, end or spend your entire night if you enjoy a relaxed and cool atmosphere and being able to hear yourself and your companions speak. Very classy joint indeed.

This is a fascinating place. It is set up like a speak-easy to a ridiculous extent. There is no sign or advertising at all. It is set up to look like a library with the menus printed in books. The drinks are great. There is a good mix of prohibition era drinks along with some more modern cocktails. The cheeseboard is also good.

First time I went was quite good. But second time I went, apparently I knocked too hard (???) and the bouncer said we weren't allowed in because it was affecting people inside. Apparently knocking once for about 3x raps is too much. Just left after an awkward and bewildering conversation thinking how needlessly weird that was. I guess I won't bother again.

Very cool little cocktail bar with a distinct prohibition era theme- including the building frontage, which makes it look disused. Don't be put off though- simply knock on the door and someone will let you in. Inside its really nice, if a bit small- be prepared to stand if it's busy. The bar offers beers and spirts , but I'd recommend trying the cocktails from the prohibition 'menu'...

One of my favourite bars in Liverpool. The setting and atmosphere is brilliant. Great place to go on a date or for a catchup as its quiet and relaxed. Drinks are great and (surprisingly) reasonably priced. It's only small however so may have to wait for a table but it's definitely worth a visit.

Possibly the best cocktail bar in Liverpool but a hidden gem : through an unmarked door via a doorman who limits access according to table availability. The atmosphere is discreet and welcoming with interesting decor and background music allowing conversation. The mixology is amazing and I would fully recommend this bar.
